Why say yes to DFTS?

"I said yes to Dancing for the Stars because I wanted to share my love and passion for dance not only in a one/one capacity with a partner but with the community. Dancing is such a beautiful and freeing way to express yourself and brings so much joy. Also, Big Brothers and Big Sisters is an amazing organization and I wanted to fully support the charity."
